Yet Tims to Avert Trouble. "I'lKlit days pi lor to tho day set for tlu a")i'inhlln, of the Kopubllcan tate convention there Is a fpellnij simonq; an incieaslns number of citrons filendly or tinft loudly to Senator Quay that.

"William A. Stone. ThN fellng does not nile fto'ii Infoimatlon, but from belief that Stiintor Qu ly Is too wise a politician to Htep with eyes open Into a third tiap like that which in 1SS2 de feated l!earr and that which elRht jears later upit Oelamater. In 1SSJ and In 1S90 Colonel Quay had nothing potHonnl at s-tnku save his slip upon the paity machinery, which by clever MtateKy ho managed to ictaln: but this Hr he is pi lvonully a candidate for k -election, and he cannot obtain that lp-electlon if by tearon of the popular disttu&t of Stone the paity in.ijority is pieatly icxluied or wholly wiped out. Let It bo unders-tonl thai we speak this nti-psfary truth in no spirit of ln ilictlve antasonlm to either Senator ((imv or Colonel Stone. I'oth aie gentle-men for ihom we entertain pei.on ally the kindliest feelings, lint facts In politics are much ii'oie Impoitant than toolings, and It Is a fact, which any cit-izf-n can easily orify, that among the men vho usually vote the Republican tli ket there is a deep and widening un-d'-i anient of oppiisltlon to Colonel Stone's candidacy Just such an under cut icnt, only far niorw pronounced, as ei-tod against the personally popular leaver in ISSi. and agalns; tho then un makid Delamater elclit year nfter waid. The popular vote cast In those pilmailes wlieie this Issue has been i irried dliectly befoio the people evi dence till. Hut it Is evidenced still nuio ominously in the roinmon speech of the iioople. In the great volume of pi 'Mellon that ston 'f nomination will mean Itnpuhllr.m defeat, and In the un pucidoi.ted leitpssin'ss and Independ ence of tho massp-s, both of which ciy a!"iil ncrainst ollenslve l.ns dictation. 'o helleve we aie well within the limits of modeiallon In h.i.ving that the tf taper of tho voters of Pennsylvania at this time Is Mich that they will not ratify a choice for governor which ear th's wilh It tho Fusplcion of control by William II. "Andrews and men of hU diss The time to take note of this fai t Is before the convention nsseinbles Wise leadership Is yet efllcacious to save Republican prospects and fill tho future with piomls.' A large majoilty of the male Inhal Hants of Pennsyl vania of voting age want to be Repub licans and want to vote the straight tli ket of the paity of liberty and pro Kiogfc, but It Is very clear to us that they have made ui their mind that If thpy cannot vote the Republican state tie Ket without opening tho door to treasury raids, notoiious Jobbery and poiiine factionalism they will either vote somo other ticket or not voto at all, and It behooves the leaders of the party to uovern their actions accord ingly. A bill authorizing the Immediate con struction of five, fast aimored crulseis has been Introduced in const ess. Ilet ter make it ten. No flonopoly In Franchises. A decision of tho first importance has been made by tho United States Su preme court In a case Involving the point whether a city council has the right to grant exclusive franchise rights. Tho facts In the case are these: In 1662 tho Detroit City railway was authorized by ordinance to operate street railways exclusively In tho strevts of Detroit. In 1879 by subse quent enactment of councils this mon opoly vvau extended to cover thirty additional years. Hut In 1891 an ordi nance was passed granting to another street railway company certain rights, whereupon tho first company brought suit, lleaten In the state court. It ap pealed to the ultlmato tribunal, which now decides In effect that no city coun cil may grant cxcluslvo franchise rights. It would seem to follow as a logical sequence of this decision that when one telephone company enjoys a franchise on certain conditions and a second compnny orcrnnl7Ps to pnmpotA with R for gencial business tho second com pany cannot constitutionally be de prived of the right to do business by tho Imposition ot tetms nstly mote exacting und onerous than are tho terms enjoyed by the oilglnnl corpor ation. It would seem thnt the I.acka wunna Telephone company, whlch.vvith SOU subscribers on five-year contracts, wants to get the use of the sheets of Scranlon so ns to lease telephones and telephone service at one-hnlf tho rates now charged by the locnl branch of the Amei lean Hell Telephone company might, If It chose, snap Its finger at the element In councils which Is striv ing to shut It out by means of prac tically; prohibitory amendments, and light Its opponents successfully in the courts. 1'eihnps this Is Its intention. According to tho outlook for tho dis position of the Philippines the Monroe dochlno was a sou of homeopathic dose. Force Is the Best Persuader. It Is Interesting to note a gradual change In tho tone of tho trade press concerning tho announced purpose of the individual coal operators to force fiom the coal canylng railroads fairer treatment of nnthrnclte. For example, the Philadelphia Stockholder, which at first spoke Jestingly of the contem plated Independent coal ft eight line to tide-water, survejs of which are now In progress, has become sulllclcntly seilous to remark: "There Is under way In the anthra cite coal regions an organized move ment which, while In its eatller de velopment It may evoke sarcastic ref erences to tho 'three tailors of Tooley street,' may yet take on propoi tlons of such magnitude as will command for It vety serious consideration The business lntei ests of the anthinclte counties are forming associations to demand, as they express It, not char ity, but a fair deal In the treatment accorded those regions by the railroads. Their agitation Is based upon the claim that If anthracite coal were granted the samp late per ton per mile as bi tuminous, tlM enlargement of the mm ket would give tho population of those legions steady work, and that owing to the excessive freight rates, anthracite coal Is being turned out of the mat ket for nearly all steam and manufacturing put poses. They claim that tho only difference In the market between anthracite nnd bituminous should be about no cents a ton, repre senting dlspailty In the cost of mining. Their declared purpose Is expressed in the stntement that they seek 'to get i Id of the excessive freight tolls that now paralyze the coal tiade a rate of 2 mills per ton a mile on bituminous nnd 11 mills on nntluacite, Indicating the discrimination against this legion. Whether this movement shall amount to anything or not, it Is likely to bring out additional discussion of tho ques tlon of the advisability and probable advantage to the anthracite roads of making such concessions In tolls as would place hard coal In a position to compete with bituminous on tcuns moie nearly equal." Our contemporary Is assuied that more than discussion will bo effected by the proposed new railroad. It will hi Ing down the tolls not because the present railroads have sense enough to see thnt ruination of the anthracite trado means eventually loss to them, also, but because under the stress of nctual competition they will have to yield. Theie Is no peisuader so sure as force. 'IliWPVPr much," says Representa tive Dockcry, of Missouri, "wo may dif fer upon the question of remote terri torial extension, it Is apparent that we should strengthen our war navy, build up a merchant navy, speedily author ize the construction of the Nicaragua canal with pi oper safeguards, and thus, under a policy ns expansive as tho uni verse nnd ns limitless as American en terprise, will we b? enabled to exerclso that Influence among tho great com mercial nations so essential to tho pros perity, welfare and giory of the repub lic." This sounds sensible. The foolish criticism of President McKinloy for appointing sons of their daddies to ornamental staff positions In the army continues. It overlooks the fact that for each of these hops thrown to greatness the government In one way or another gets repaid many fold, and It also takes no account of the liumanltnrlan clicumstanco that daddy-boys thus placed ate taken out of temptation and mischief. It is understood from a Canadian filend of Polo, and It Is plausll.il", that Spain's whole play, so far ns Cuba Is concerned, Is to delay Anieiican Invas ion until we have wasted a lot of money, the Cubans themselves have been decimated, and the Island made a waste place, vvheieupon Rlanco will abandon It. Tho objection to this scheme Is that Uncle Sam may not consent to enact a passive role. Prof. Oieen. of Trenton, X. J., re fused to nllow the Cuban Hag to bo raised in his school house nnd states that there Is no occasion for war with Spain. Some one ought to present tho piofessor with a"Remember tho Mnlne" button. The ambassador of a European power fat Washington informs William K. 5'urtls that under no circumstances will Russia, Franco nnd Germany permit the United States to keep tho Philip pine Islands. It looks ns If they might havo to. The "Dewey cocktail" Is the latest popular bevernge that has been In vented to cheer tho thirsty New Yorker. In color the "Dewey cocktail" Is purple, but It produces a blood red sensation and makes tho Investigator feel like tackling the entire Spanish navy single handed. Como to think of It, It Is a trifle severe to hold the French nation re sponsible for the blatant babble of a lot of Paris newspaper men. Suppose tho United States should be hold ac countable for the talk of the New York Journal. Few Intelligent citizens will mourn t2io demise under United Stated Hu p'reme court ministration of Pfnnsyl- vanla'fl bnck-numbor nntl-oleomargar-Ino law. That law was a relic, of com mercial barbarism. IJy vlrtuo of his share In tho prlzca of vvnr captured by his licet Admiral Sampson Is $37,000 richer than he was a few weeks ago. Let him show Ills gratitude by sinking Cervern Those Americans who are proclaim ing the opinion thnt the United States Isn't capable of governing colonics wouldn't like to hear foreigners say that. , Theie Is evidently a ringing In tho ears of tho citizens of Port do l'aix. Problems Certain to Follow Ihe War Piom tho Atlantic Monthly. Till! problems that seem likely to follow the war lire graver than those that have led up to It, and If it be too lato to auk whether wo entcicd Into It without sutllclent deliberation, It is not too soon to make suro of eveiy step that we now take. The Inspiring unanimity of tho people In fol lowing their leaders proves to bo as earn est and strong ns It ever was under any foim of government; nnd this popular ac quiescence In vvnr puts a l.ew responsi bility on those leaders, nnd may put our Institutions und our people themselves to u new test. A change In our national pol io may change our very character; und we aro now playing with the great forces that may shape the future of tho world almost before wo know it. Yesterday wo wro going about the pronalc tasks of peace, content with our own problems of ndinliilsti.itlon nnd finance, u nation to otusi hes "commciclals," ns our ene mies call us In dcilsiun. Today we arc face to face with tho sort of problems that havo giown up In the management of world duplies, and the policies of other nations are of intimate concern to us. Shall we still bo content with peace ful Industry, or does there et lurk In u tho adventurous pplrit of our Anglo Saxon forefathers? And hnvo we como to a tlmo when, no moro great enterprises awaiting us at heme, wo shall be tempt ed to seek them abroad? o Tho race from which we are spiung Is a i ace that for u thousand years has done the adventurous and outdoor tasks ot tho world. Tho Unglish havo been explorer, colonizers, conquerors of conti nents, founders of stntes Wo ourselves, cvei generation since we came to Amer ica, have had great practical enterprises to engage' u- tho fighting with Indians, the (baling of forests, the war for Inde pi ndi in e, the construction ot a govern ment tho extension of our Urrltoty, tho pushing backward of the frontier, tho de velopment of an 111 Dorado (which the Spaniards r.vvncd, but never lound), tho long intern il conflict about slavery, a great civil war, the building of railroads, and tho compact unification of a conti nental domain. 1 hese have been as great enterprises nnd as exciting, coming In rapid succession, as any race of men has ever had to engage It as great enter prises for tho play of the love of ndven tuio In tho blood us our kinsmen over the tea havo had In the extension and tho management of their world-empire. Tho old outdoor spirit of the Anglo-Saxon lins till lately found wider scopo in our own history than wo aro apt to remem ber. o Hut now a generation has come to imn liood that has had no part In any great adventure. In politics wu havo had dltll cult and lmpoitant tasks. Indeed, but they havo not been exciting tho reform of tne civil service and of the system of cur rency, and the Improvement of municipal government. These nre chiefiy adminis trative. In a sense they ure not new nor positive tasks, but the correction of past errors. In some communities politics has fallen Into tho hands of petty brigands, nnd in others into those of second-! ato men, partly becauso it has offered llltlo constructive work to do. Its duties have been routine, legulatlvo duties; Its prizes, only a rommonplaco distinction to honest men, and tho vulgar spoil of olllco to dis honest one. The decline In the cliarncfr of our public life has been a natural re sult of the lack of targe constructive op portunltles. Tho best equipped mi n of this generation have nbstalncel from It, and sought careers by criticism of the public servants who owe their power to tho practical Inactivity of tho very men who criticise them. In literature as well wo have well-nigh lost tho ait of con structive writing for wo work too much on Indoor pioblems, and content ourselves with adventures in criticism. It is note worthy thnt the three books which havo found most r .iders, and had perhaps tho widest liillucnco on tho masses of this generation, aro books of Utopian social programmes (mingled with crj different piopoitlcns of truth), by whose fantas tic pholosophv, thanks to tho dullness of tho times, ipen have tried serlouslj to shape our national conduct Progress and Poverty, Looking Uackward, and Coin s Financial Schrol. Apostolic fervor, io mantle dreaming, and blatant misinfor mation have each captivated the Idle minded masses, becauso their Imnglni tlons were not duly exercised In their routine toll. R has been a time ot to clol reforms, of the "emancipation" of women, of national organizations of chil dren, of societies for tho prevention of minor vices and for tho encouragement of minor virtues, of tho study of genealo gy, of tho rlso of morbid fiction, of Jour nals for "ladles," of llteraturo for bibles, ot melodrama on the stage because wo havo had melodnma In life also of criti cism and rctorm rather than of thought and action. o Theso things all denoto a lack-of ad vcntuious oppoitunitles, an Indoor llfo such as wu hjvo never before had a chanco to enJo . and there aro many in dications that a llfo of quiet may havo become Irksome, nnd may not et bo nat ural to us. Greater facts than theso de note u period also of peace and such well being as men of our raco never before enjojed sanitary Improvements, tho mul tiplication and tho development of uni versities, the establishment of hospitals, nnd the application of benevolenco to tho whole clrejo of humnn life such a groivth of good will ns we hud como to think had 8Uieiy made war Impossible. Is this dream true? Or Is It hue that with a thousand y 'ars of adventure behind us wo ate unable to endure a life of occupa tions that do not feed tho Imagination? After all. It Is temperament that tells, and not se hemes of national policy, whether laid down In farewell addresses or in Utopian books. No national char acter was ever shaped by formula or by philosophy; for greater forces than th-so lie behind It tho forces of Inheritance und of events. Aro we, by vlrtuo of our sur roundings nnd Institutions, boconio a dif ferent peoplo from our ancestors, or are we jet the same raco of Anglo-Saxons, whoso restless energy In colonization, 'n conquest. In trade, In "the sprend of civ ilization," has can led their speech into every part of the world, und planted their habits eveij where? ONB MONTH OF WAR. Prom tho Huffalo Dxpiess. The war with Spain had been 111 prog ress ono mouth. In this time tho country has learned much. Somo ot our previous opinions regarding ourselves havo been confirmed. In other matteis wo have had surprises. Tho war so far may bo sum marized us follows: (1.) A daring, skill ful assaidt ou tho Spanish squadron on .ho othor wldo of tho world, In which the enemy was annihilated; (2.) A series! of sklrmlsheH along tho Cuban coast, mnrked by audacity on tho part of the Americans, but without Important result; (3.) The arrival of tho Spanish flying squadron In the West Indies, and tho ef forts of our slower ships to find ll; (1 ) Tho slow preparation of nn amy for a descent upon Culja, which Is tho great stake of this war; (3.) Tho successful avoldanco of complications with foreign countries, only ono ot which, Great llrll nln, is unmistakably our friend. -o One of tho things which wo havo provct Is the fact that our American sailors re tain their old clllclercy. Our earlier wars Hindu us expect much of tho navy In tho wny of c'osli, skill and marksmnnshlp. Tho only tlect engagement wo have had has approved this expectation, and even tho llttlo Cuban skirmishes havo certi fied to the samo thing. Tho war has shown us where tho navy Is wenk, and somo of our previous opinions havo been upset. Torpedo boats havo not proveil ns terrlblo as we thought. Dewey mado short work of those which attacked him at Manila. Wo havo heard much about monitors, but the events of tho last few la8 havo proved that monitors nro use ful In a very limited field, and good as they nro In that field, out of It they aro an enenmbrnnco and not a help. On tho other hand, experience has proved that ve need moro armored cruisers of high spend. Wo could, undoubtedly, Iinnillo the Spaniards If wo could catch them; but the old saying holds good, "1'lrst catch your hire." The lienors of tho last neck have been won by Admiral Ccrvcra, largely lecauso his tqundiun Is so swift. To bunt tho fast Spanish cruisers with coastllno battleships and heavy monitors Is like hunting cavalry with drays, o Foreign complications nro nn clement of largo posilbllity In every war. since bel ligerents nro inevitably sunounded ro closely with neutrals vhoso Interests and svmpnthles nro always concerned. Yet, after the exicrienco ot our civil wnr, when dedicate! and dangerous questions vvero so continually pi evoked, wo may laugh nt tho dangers Involved in this Spanish war. o Tho unreadiness of tho army was In somo respects to be expected. Ilulfnln could not go to war with a neighboring cltv (wero municipal wars still In fashion) with only her pollco forco to back ,her. Yet tho regular army has been, practic ally, nothing more than a national pollco force. Volunteers will nlwajs bo needed for foreign wars, and tho present war merely pioves onco more thnt, dcpltc nil tho lessons of tho past, even natioml guardsmen cannot be got ready for hos tilities In a hutry. Whnt Is discredit able, however, is tho evident lack of preparation and ot organizing ability nt the? headquarters of tho guard In most of the states. Dven moro deplorable Is tho evident game of ctoss purposes which has been going on nt Washington. This coun try wilt perhaps never reduce Its military administration to the mnchlne-llko effi ciency of Prussia; but In the regular army, nt least, there should bo no con fusion and things should bo smoothly as an examplo to tho national guard, If nothing more. o Tho most discreditable featuro of tho war Is the slownoa with which tho prep arations to relieve Admiral Dewey havo advanced. Tho l!ritlh neutrality proc lamation nppeared on April 20, and It was known then that this lelt Dewey without a base in tho cast. He sailed from Mils bay, China, for Manila on April 27; ho won tho Rattle of Manila on May 1, and wo knew of Its result May 2. It Is threo weeks today since he fought, and nearly four,slnco Dewey was cut looso to find a new foothold for himself. Yet the cruiser Charleston, with tho first Installment of supplies for him, sailed from California only Saturday. Undo Sam deserves to bo a laughing stock. If foreign Interferrnco In tho Philippines is Justified at all, it Is Justified by this delav. v o Tho war altogether has knocked out of our heads anv mistaken idea of coping In a mlnato with any first-class military power on the other sldo ot tho Atlantic. Wo may well relolce that we did not get Into a fight with Great Hrltnln over Vene zuela, and that only poor llttlo seventh rnto Spain is our present antagonist. Uncle nam can light at need, utter get ting well prepared; but ho Is not a pro fessional warrior, ready to fight at tho drop of tho hat. OUK GREATEST VICTOKT. From tho Atlantic Monthly. Tho removal of tho scandal of Spain's contiol of Its last American colony Is us Just and merciful ns It Is pathetic a nec essary act of surgery for tho health of civilization. Of tho two disgraceful scandals of modern mlsgovcrnment, tho ono which lay within our correction will no longer deface the world. Hut when wo havo removed it, let us mako suro that wo stop; for tho old world's troubles are not our troubles, nor its tasks our tasks, and we should not become shareis In its Jealousies ami entanglements. Tho contlnueel progress of tho race In tho equalization ot opportunity nnd in well being depends on democratic Institutions, of which, we, under God, aro jet. In spito of all our shortcomings, the chief bene ficiaries and custodians. Our greatest victory will not bo over Spain, but over ourselves to show onco moro that even In Its righteous wrath tho republic has vlrtuo of self-restraint. TOLD BY THG STARS.
